All of a sudden, Qian Ge felt the fire in her chest burn even more fiercely.
Seeing just how weak and helpless Ji Yi was, the fire in Zhuang Yi's heart grew as she ripped off the hand covering her mouth. "Xiao Yi, what're you afraid of? She's the one in the wrong..."
"Zhuang Yi, I beg you - don't say anything. Stop!" Ji Yi hurriedly interrupted. She stealthily stabbed her own thigh and used the searing pain to force out some tears. Then she pretended as though she was afraid Zhuang Yi would get on Qian Ge's bad side if she continued speaking. She turned towards Qian Ge and said, "...Qian Ge, sorry, sorry..."
Then she acted as though all she wanted to do was immediately patch things up. She said to Zhuang Yi, "Zhuang Yi, let this go. What's more, I trust Qian Jie didn't do it on purpose. She probably never realized she used so much force and slipped up..."
Slipped up?
She's obviously telling everyone I just forcefully pushed her?
